Honda Motor and Yamaha Motor reached an agreement for Honda to supply Yamaha with electric motorcycle models for the Japanese market, based on the Honda “EM1 e:” and “BENLY e: I” Class-1 category models, as an OEM (original equipment manufacturer). The two companies will proceed with further discussion toward the signing of a formal agreement.
In October 2016, the two companies began discussions toward a possible business alliance in the Japanese Class-1 category motorcycle market to address various challenges motorcycle manufacturers would face, including compliance with increasingly stringent safety standards and emissions regulations, as well as the pursuit of electrification.
The key areas of discussion included: 1) supplying 50cc scooter models as an OEM, 2) joint development/OEM supply of next-generation 50cc business scooter models, and 3) collaboration toward the popularization of electric motorcycles in the Class-1 category. Based on that discussion, in March 2018, Honda began supplying 50cc scooter models to Yamaha as an OEM.
Moreover, in April 2019, Honda and Yamaha, together with Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. and Suzuki Motor Corporation, established the Swappable Battery Consortium for Electric Motorcycles for the purpose of popularizing electric motorcycle models. The Consortium discussed the possibility of standardizing mutual-use swappable batteries and their swapping systems as one of the solutions to address key challenges in the popularization of electric motorcycles—range and charging time—and reached an agreement to standardize (establish common specifications) in March 2021.
이러한 이니셔티브에 따라 Honda와 Yamaha는 Honda가 Honda Mobile Power Pack e: 교체 가능한 배터리로 구동되는 EM1 e: 및 BENLY e: I를 기반으로 Yamaha에 OEM으로 Class-1 카테고리 모델을 공급하기로 합의했습니다. 공통 사양을 준수합니다. 이번 협업을 통해 양사는 개인용 모빌리티와 비즈니스 용도 모두에서 인기가 높은 카테고리인 Class-1 카테고리에서 더 많은 고객의 요구를 충족할 전기 오토바이 모델을 지속적으로 제공할 예정이다.
To further popularize electric motorcycles in the Class-1 category in Japan, the two companies will enhance their product lineup and continue to address various challenges facing electric motorcycles such as range, charging time, performance and cost.
